An account in Seine-Saint-Denis, France

On April 20, 1996 at around 10:20 p.m., a witness observed from his apartment a flying object of cylindrical shape with flashing lights underneath. The phenomenon was silent and moved slower than an airplane. Its straight trajectory then became upward after a half turn. The total duration of the observation was about 10 minutes. No other information is available on this case.
